In the opening match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, New Zealand will play Australia. The tournament’s third match will be held on February 11 at Boland Park in Paarl. In their first warm-up match, Australia Women beat India Women, but in their next match, they lost unexpectedly to Ireland Women.
The Australian women will attempt to win the first contest to put the defeat behind them. Similar results were also achieved by New Zealand, which won the first warm-up match against West Indies and lost to England in the subsequent match.
Australia Women have reached the final of every Women’s T20 World Cup, with the exception of the first tournament in 2009, when they were eliminated in the semifinals. They will be very confident going into this match.
Despite their lack of trophy contention in recent competitions, New Zealand Women have a strong record against Australia Women. They will, nonetheless, be the underdogs in this game.
